Best/Most Emotional Death Scene: Set It Off, Boyz N the Hood, Menace II Society, Do The Right Thing

[Dr. Narcisse]

Spoilers obviously


What death scene made the biggest emotional impact on you?



Cleo

Spoiler

I think this is the one you should probably feel the least "sorry" for. However, I actually think its the best directed scene. The music, the cigarette scene, the moment you think she's dead and then she goes out in a blaze of glory.....but really its not. You see the suffering in her face and the shyt just hits you like a ton of bricks.

Ricky

Spoiler

Lets get the cons out of the way. Some of the worst decisions I've seen a character make while trying to run away. The having to take a piss, the wanting to split up, etc. Except all is forgiven/forgotten(well almost) when you see him running for his life. Seeing him gunned down like that was wild. The real emotion comes from seeing how his mom reacts when they bring his body home. Then come to find out he got the test score he needed to go to college anyway. Just sad and fukked up stuff.

Caine

Spoiler

Unlike the other three this is the main character dying. Breh was getting ready to start a new life for himself. This was the second best directed scene of these choices as well imo. Seeing him run after the boy to protect him. O Dog's reaction to everything sells it as well. Just in total shock. Seeing the gunshots out of the back of Caine's body. Then unlike with Ricky we actually see Caine fighting for his last breath so that makes shyt worse. One of the biggest downer endings I've ever seen

Radio Raheem

Spoiler

Probably the least "attached" character of these choices. He wasnt one of the main stars, but carried so much emotion. Just seeing a cop literally choke the life out of him in front of so many people. I remember yelling at the screen I was so pissed first time I watched it. Cops just kicking his dead body and then throwing it in the back of the court. Truly horrific shyt.

Rickyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Cleo

Radio Raheem is the hardest to watch. So relevant. Ricky death still works even though it was executed strangley. Cain gets that work but he went out not being a coward.
Cleo went out like a G .

RR gets my vote. Rip.

Hardball. I cried as a young nikka when G Baby got shot.

Why you have to go and post this?

It's disheartening that Radio Raheem's death has been played out so many times these last couple of years.

It's a toss-up (no pun) between Boyz-N-the-Hood and Menace To Society

...both scenes ripped a 90s Kid Soul Apart

@YaBoy, I Wasn't Ready for that G-Baby clip

@YaBoy, why did you have to post G-Baby's clip, I Wasn't Ready

Wallace should have emphasized the point that they needed to GTFO there.

 

[scarlxrd]

Set it Off for me.

fukk Ricky, there was no guarantee he'd even get to the NFL

Menace to Society


but real shyt, watching Radio Raheem just fukked up..not cause it made me sad...but because I'm sitting here, numb as shyt. I done really got use to watching black men go out like that. thats fukked up

 

[Easy-E]

I forgot who said it; but, every time I see Boyz, I thing Ricky could outrun 'em.

 

[kingdarius]

its between radio raheem and caine for me but imma go with caine cuz he sacrificed himself for that kid and the image of his homeboy holding him and crying always gets to me

 

[Mac Ten]

Cleo for me….

Went out like a G, didn’t rat, and was a team player. That song fit perfectly. Tisean saved her life looking back and she took the rap unlike that bytch azz nikka Cleon who ratted on his crew in Dead Presidents. Ant should have smoked him.





Radio Raheem died because of Buggin Out and Pino though all over some photos. Dude went into the shop being a dikkhead.

 

[feelosofer]

I'm going to vote Radio Raheem because that shyt was just a bad situation gone worse and it is all too realistic. Like it was timely and timeless at the same time.
